Climate Change: Challenges and Opportunities after the 2015 Paris Conference

A Conference Jointly Organized by the British Embassy, the IMF Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (OAP), and the Royal Norwegian Embassy

Tokyo Prince Park Tower Hotel, Tokyo, Japan

December 15, 2015

More than 190 countries have now gathered in Paris for the United Nation’s COP21 international climate conference to agree on a new global climate change deal. This agreement, covering all countries, both developed and developing countries, will be the most important global climate event since the Kyoto meeting in 1997. Following the Paris meeting, however, the real work will start.

At this seminar, right after the conclusion of the COP21, we will engage with key stakeholders from the public and the private sectors to discuss post-Paris actions on climate change and transition to a low carbon economy.

Closing session: Presentations by winners of the 2015 children’s Climate Essay Competition “Together we can do even better”
